Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is like barometric pressure. It’s constant and all around us.

If it doesn’t help you achieve your goals, ignore it.

No Space for Gloom

Gloom has no positive effect on ameliorating doom.

Entropy and fear unravel all the work that came before.

Strike a Chord Worth Listening To

Your work will never fit in. So do the hard work of having it stand out.

Find a chord and stick with it. Again and again, for years, until it becomes yours.

What Do They Mean?

Listen to understand.

Intention

Talk so you can be heard.

What Do You Mean by That?

Listen to understand, not to reply.

Competence

In our world of artificial intelligence, competence is no longer about our ability to press certain buttons in a certain sequence.

Competence in our modern world is about the humanity to connect with our customers and colleagues.

Serve them what they want in the way they want it. Delight them!

Building Ourselves

Build good habits.

Because good habits build us.

The built ‘us’ will be able to rise to the occasion when it arrives.

Aim

It’s surprising how much we can accomplish when we’re running out of time.

What’s more surprising is how little we accomplished when we had ample time!

It’s not lack of time, but lack of direction that’s the problem.

Because You Can

Why did you show up today:

Because you need something?

Before you need something, knowing that it will pay off later when you need something?

Not in anticipation of needing anything, but merely because you can?
